BerryBloom · For online stores
Unlike almost every other business we work with, you can see the whole thing: who arrived, what they looked at, where they stopped. Which means your problem is usually not being found. It is what happens in the ninety seconds after.
We would not lead with this if it were not the single most common thing we find. On two separate stores we picked up, the analytics and the payment processor did not agree — in one case analytics reported no revenue at all against thousands of dollars actually taken, and in the other it was counting more orders than it had recorded visits.
The commission option is not automatically the cheaper one and we will say so if a retainer would cost you less. It suits a store with room to grow and a margin that can carry it; it suits us when we believe we can move the number. If those two things are not both true, take the retainer.
